Spoiled, college-dropout Jenny thought she had her life figured out. But when fate turns her world upside down by reuniting her with her old classmate Darren, she's forced to reconcile with her past and learn that things aren't always the way they used to be.
When you grow up on some of the best romcoms of all time, it’s hard to see them all fade away. It’s a tired cliche, but they really don’t make them like they used to.
Some of our favorite rom coms come from the campy dream that was the early 2000s. The style, the lingo, the look, and of course, the romance. But what glued us to these movies, was the surreal, lush world that lived around the characters. Anything was possible: the nerd could get the homecoming queen, the cheer team was the only thing in the world worth caring about, and there was always a happy ending.
As the world around us fades further and further from this utopia, its movies like this we run back to to escape.
We hope that “The Way Things Used 2 B” provides this escape. Though short, we hope to one day expand the world of “Used 2 B” and revive the romantic, dream-like worlds of the romantic comedy. We want to bring laughter, connection, and camp back to the movies. “The Way Things Used 2 B” is just the beginning.
